74. * LONDON JOURNA LS. Tillorning Chronicle, Sept. 9.] The recent arrivals from the Mauritius represent the dis sensions amotipt the civil branches of the Government of - that Colony, to which we have before adverted, as having as -sined a most aggravated character. We learn that the or dinary judicial Tribimals,with the special Conrts:of Admiralty, established by commissions from the King and the Admiralty, Dare been superseded by the acting Governor, and that in lieu thereof he had appointed a Court in the person of a Mr. Caunter, who' previously discharged the office of a mere Eng lish Interpreter to the Tribunals ! To have superseded the Commissary of Justice and Chief Judge, an English Lawyer of eminence, and to have substituted the Interpreter of his tribunals, seetus at least an unprecedented arrangement, even in Colonial transmutations. An alleged default is :stated to have taken place in the local Treasury, and we have heard that persons supposed to he implicated are on their passage to Europe. One letter mentions, that the Clerk who gave information of the deGeiency had subsequently put an end its his existence. Under such a state of things, that interesting Colony is the prey of great dissatisfaction and in dividual suffering. [Jleruiiig llerald.] THE QUEEN.--Her Majesty continued much the same as on the preceding day, op to seven o'clock 00 Nlonday night, when she became vcry feverish, and suffered considerable pain. 'Towards eleven o'clock, however, these unfavourable symptoms again subsided, and, before the mottling, her Ma jesty' obtainvd a little sleep. The Duke of York left Kew for his Office at the Horse-Guards, about two o'clock on Monday, end shortly afterwards the Duchess of York arrived at the Queen's house in her curricle. Her Royal Highness had a short interview with her Majesty, anti, after t ern:lining an bow with the Princesses, she returned to Oatlands. At six o'clock, the Prince Regent arrived frorn the Stud-house, and dined with the Princesses. His Royal Highness did not de part till almost 12 o'clock ; anti her Majesty being then some. thing more composed, be returned to Hampton Court. [Morning Post.] Private letters from Paris of the 4th state that some alarm ing symptoms of discontent hare of late been manifested in La Vendee; that some armed detachments are proceeding through the country, halting at the different castles, and pro- Claiming the must wicked and infuriated projects ; and that pamphlets - and seditious placards are profusely circulated in those districts. We do not, however, place implicit reliance upon these statements.—Other letters say, that the English holders of French Stock, in anticipation of some change de pendent on the approaching departure of the Army of Occu pation from France, are now daily selling out. This state ment seems highly probable, front the fact of the rapid de cline of the French Funds, which in the course of a very few days have fallen from 80 to 77i. fiesav HUNT.Yesterday morning a warrant was obtained at Bow-street against the Spa-fields Orator, for an assault upon Mr. V. Dowling, the Gentleman who horsewhipped Hunt upon the Hustings at Covent-Garden, during the late Election. It appeals that Mr. Hunt met Mr. Dowling acci dentally in the shop of Mr. Clement, the Proprietor of The Oissetver, in St. Clement's Church-yard, and after calling him a " Government Spy," and applying to him other oppro bious epithets, challenged bins to a boxing snatch. Mr. D. declined this polite invitation, and Mr. Hunt struck him in the face. We trust the strong . hand of the law will prevent a repetition of such outrages ; and that Mr. D. tike the necessary steps to iiihiet un hint the punishment be deserves. [New Times.] We have been favoured with letters from Bord,aux, dated the Ist inst. They mention a rise in the price of grain of al most every description throughout Guyenne, and several agricultural districts of Languedoc, occasioned by the very large purchases made on account of foreign speculators. Some rain bad lately fallen in the vicinity of Bordeaux, which had been partially useful, hut the great evil of the long drought was past remedy, and the owners of the vineyards will reap a very pour harvest, comparatively with what they expected, the grape having been in several quarters literally burnt up. The most active exertions are at this moment wahine; by the Spanish Government to dispatch a naval and military force both to the Havannah and Mexico. The number of infantry and artillery is stated at 7000, of which nearly 5000 are understood to be destined fur the Florida's, and the re -Inainder to be employed against the Insurgents. None of the Russian men of war arrived at Cadiz are to be employed in the expedition, as they have been pronounced altogether unfit for any length of service, and the only vessels which Spain is 'now enabled to send are two ships of the line, three tri ples, and a few sloops and brigs of war. The finances re quisite for tbe equipment of even so small an armament leave been supplied with great dilliculty and at an enormous inte rest. The expedition will certainly sail before the end of the present month. Arm s , It t lif a x.-..Oct• 7, E.

" The Sculptor Mansion is employed to pre pare a bust of Rembrandt for the Royal Museum of the Louvre. " A dreadful fire broke out on the Ist inst. in the Commune of CEuf, near St. t'ol (Pas de Calais), which destroyed 39 houses, five large farms, the church, and the chateau. A man in endeavouring to save a female, who had descended into her cellar, pet ished with her. Five children are missing, who are supposed also to have been burnt to death. Several per*on* were much wounded or burnt, and some of them dangerously, The progress of the flames was so rapid that neither furniture nor the produce of the harvest could be saved. The damage is estimated at up wards of 500,000 francs. " Mr. Juhn Braker, the English Consul-Gene ral at Aleppo, arrived at Marseilles the '29th tilt. with all his family, on his way to England.

The Prince appears to be entirely exhausted. -" BANKSOFTHB RHINE, AUG. 24.—The garri son of Aix-la-Chapelle, (hiring the sitting of the Congress there, will consist of 4000 men. " STRASBURG, SEPT.

His Grace set out at noon for Sarguemines, the Bavarian headquarters, front whence he will proceed to Sedan. ". The Austrian head-quarters have quitted Haguenau, to return to Colmar. " AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, SEPT. I.—The number of foreigners who had arrived here up to the 27th ult. was 1,918. " The equipa&es of the Emperor of Austria have arrived at Cologne, and are expected here the 4th inst. Those of t►►e King of Prussia set out from Berlin on the 21st ult." We gave exclusively, on Saturday, the last number of The Royal Gazette and Bahama Adver tiser, and we have since been favoured with the contents of private letters from that quarter. It appears that the Official Communication from Earl BATHURST, which appeared in that Bahama Paper, has by no means, as we before observed, been satisfactory to the inhabitants at large. The fol lowing are stated to us to be the facts of the case, but for which we cannot presume to vouch. The Attorney-General WILLY has been in the Bahamas about twenty years. It is said he misrepresented the proceedings of the House of Assembly to the African Institution. When l►e was summoned to explain his conduct he did not attend, but fortified his house, armed his Negroes, and for some time avoided the Messenger of the Assembly who went with a warrant to arrest him. He was, how ever, soon after arrested by the Provost-Mar shal and put into prison ; but was dis charged on bail by the General Court, who, it is said, have since professed regret at having dis charged a person who had been imprisoned for contempt by a competent authority. A sort of appeal was then made to the Government in this Country, and it appears that the answer did not recognise the authority of the House of Assembly. to imprison for contempt, though it is alleged that every common Club may vindicate its own sittings, for gross intrusion or o;ber misbehaviour. It has been urged, that by this decision Govern ment was of opinion that an inferior Court could over-rule a superior Authority, and may declare that to be no contempt which the superior had declared to be a contempt of an aggravated nature. The Government, however, did not decide whe ther the General Court, in avowing its superiority over the Sovereign Jurisdiction, and that the Judges could discharge a person in contempt, though the Judges in Westminster Hall never do, acted thus from ignorance or servility. The House of Assembly, conceiving that the Govern ment at home had acted on mistaken principles, or on partial information, resumed their proceed, iogs against the ATTORNEY-GENERAL. The Same CHIEF JUSTICE, it is stated, then acting as Pre sident, who had detern►ined that the inferior may over-rule the superior, and that a person acting in contempt of a superior might be discharged, thought it a heinous offence in the People's Re presentatives, and therefore dissolved them, for supposing that the Government might be mis informed as to facts, have misconceived the policy or 4 such a measure, and be mistaken in its opinion, when it supposed the inferior to be higher than the superior, and that the Officer in contempt, who had been indicted on this breach of the peace by the Grand Jury, and found guilty by the Petty Jury, was quite inno cent of any offence. Such, we are informed, is the state tit affairs in Bahama ; and it is added, that the late House of Assembly is preparing a history of the whole transaction, to be submitted to Government at home, which, it is not doubt ed, will minutely investigate the case, and decide with impartial justice. We learn by accounts received this day, that two of the most vehement Orators of Stockport have been apprehended at Manchester, and that there is now reason to hope that the IA wildts in those parts o ill soon subside. %Ire must again bear testimony in favour of the Magistracy, who have acted with good temper -and moderation, but with firmness and decision. Mr. BROUGHAM has thought proper to publish a Letter, addressed to Sir SAMUEL RoMILLY, on the subject of the Act for inquiring into the abuse of Charities. Extracts front this Pobliestion are, of course, taken into the Opposition Papers. litre gave, on the 22d nit., a list of the Persons ap pointed to act as Commissioners under this Act, and we defied Mr. BROUGHAM or his Party to find a more re , pectahle and more competent 'et of persons throughout the Kingdom. It i$ hinted in this pamphlet that "all men in high office are beset with applicants." Looking at the list, is it possible to suppose that any of the Members would apply to he included in it, though they might be expected to assume the trust from motives of public justice ? The pamphlet also says,—" We (Mr. linooonAm and his Party) still trusted that the power would not be abused ; and we looked to the wholesome controul of Pa rl iament and the Public for a security that the work would be done with diligence, upon whomsoever it might de volve." Now. as there can he no reason to be lieve that the work will not be done with dili gence, since wise, able, and unimpeachable cha racters are employed on it, what occasion is there for Mr. BROUGHAM'S palllpillet, which seems to have been published for the pnrpose of prejud icili t ' the minds of the people at large, and from an Or e pension that a fair an d i m p ar ti a l i nves tigationci ftbe ro subject will produce a result very different f il l the predictio ns o f P art y, an d a f u ll proo f that % 1 or most, of the alleged abuses are wholly "' it ' out foundation ?
